Chimney Repointing & Stack Repairs
Over time, the mortar joints around your chimney stack crack and erode, allowing water to penetrate and cause serious damp and structural damage inside your home. We repoint chimney stacks using appropriate lime or sand-and-cement mixes to restore weather resistance and prevent further deterioration. We also repair or rebuild leaning or damaged chimney stacks where required.
Flashing & Leadwork Repairs
Chimney flashing is the lead or mortar seal between the chimney stack and the roof slope. When it fails, water runs straight into your roof void and down your walls. We repair and replace chimney flashings using quality lead and mortar to create a permanent watertight seal. We also carry out all types of lead valley and flat roof leadwork.
Chimney problems are often invisible from ground level until water damage becomes apparent inside the house. We recommend a chimney inspection as part of any roof survey for properties in Dartford and Kent. Our team works safely at height using appropriate access equipment and follows best practice for all chimney work. Whether your chimney needs a simple repoint, new flashing, a pot replaced, or a full stack rebuild – Reilly’s Roofing will assess it honestly and carry out the work to a high standard.
Service Benefits
Chimney repointing is one of the most effective ways to prevent water ingress in older properties. Our experienced team works carefully on all types of chimney stacks – from Victorian terraces in Dartford to period homes across rural Kent – restoring them to a weatherproof and structurally sound condition.
Service Benefits
Correctly fitted guttering and downpipes ensure rainwater drains away from your property efficiently. Poor drainage is one of the most common causes of damp, cracked render, and foundation issues – problems we help homeowners across Dartford and Kent avoid every day.
Faq
How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?
Signs include visible gaps or crumbling mortar between the bricks, white staining (efflorescence) on the chimney stack, damp patches on the chimney breast inside the house, or water appearing in the fireplace after rain. A free inspection from Reilly’s Roofing will confirm the extent of any work needed.
Can you remove a chimney stack completely?
Yes. We carry out full chimney removals including the stack, breast where necessary, and roof reinstatement. We will tile over the area, felt and batten, and leave a neat finish. We advise on planning considerations before any removal work begins.
What is chimney flashing and why does it fail?
Chimney flashing is the waterproof seal (usually lead) where the chimney meets the roof. It fails due to natural weathering, thermal movement, or poor original installation. Failed flashing is a very common cause of roof leaks and damp. We repair and replace all types of chimney flashing across Dartford and Kent.
